These associations between lung involvement and outcomes were statistically significant after adjusting for relevant clinical parameters.
To determine whether the percentage of lung involvement at the initial chest computed tomography CT is related to the subsequent risk of in-hospital death in patients with coronavirus disease Covid Using a cohort of laboratory-confirmed Covid pneumonia cases that underwent chest CT between February and April , we performed a volumetric analysis of the lung opacities.
The impact of relative lung involvement on outcomes was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression. The primary endpoint was the in-hospital mortality rate. The secondary endpoint was major adverse hospitalization events intensive care unit admission, use of mechanical ventilation, or death. The median age of the patients was 65 years: The median relative lung involvement was The overall in-hospital mortality rate was Thirty-six After adjusting for significant clinical factors, there was a 3.
Among patients hospitalized with Covid, more lung consolidation on chest CT increases the risk of in-hospital death, independently of confounding clinical factors.
